This was unexpected. He thought the business Liu Hai mentioned would be related to double-sided embroidery.
"Sir, to be honest, it was just by chance that some strong men who went into the mountains to pick peppers said that there are large clay mountains in the northern mountains of Ruyang. The quality of these clays is top-notch. If these clays are used to make porcelain, the quality of the porcelain can be improved to a higher level.
Grade, that’s when I started thinking about it.”
Bangs didn't hide anything, she told the truth.
Coincidentally, a relative of his family specializes in the ceramics business. As long as he has high-quality porcelain, he will have no problem selling it.
However, if you want to mine clay, you still need to pay some taxes to get the official approval document from the county government.
"Can you upgrade existing porcelain to a higher level?"
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention,
The more he listened, the brighter Li Mo's eyes became.
I was really riding a donkey looking for a donkey, why did I forget about the porcelain?
Although the porcelain craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty has become increasingly mature, it is still far behind the porcelain craftsmanship of later generations such as the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
If Ruyang can make ceramics from later generations, wouldn't it be another long-term trade route?
Moreover, the ceramic business is much faster than the embroidery business, the output is larger, and it is more profitable.
As for the craftsmanship?
Just like movable type printing, if it is in the hands of your own people, you will not be afraid of spreading it to others.
Anyway, try it first and say nothing else.
"My lord...my lord...you see..."
It wasn't until Liu Hai shouted in a low voice that Li Mo finally came back to his senses.
"In this case, Boss Liu, the mining of clay can be slowed down a little. I will give you another business. If it succeeds... you will definitely make more money than mining clay."
Li Mo said.
"Oh? Your Excellency also has business? I don't know..."
Bangs was stunned.
He didn't expect Li Mo to give such a reply.
But as Li Mo said, if you change your business, just change your business, as long as you can make money.
"Wait for me for half a month. After half a month, I will let you take a look at this business. During this period... Boss Liu's expenses in Ruyang can all be attributed to me."
Li Mo picked up the tea cup and took a small sip.
It may take a long time to make ceramics according to the techniques of later generations, but now most of the top masters in Yibo Building are in Ruyang.
With them here, half a month is definitely enough.
"Yes, sir!"
.......
The words are divided into two sides,
Just when Li Mo was accidentally inspired by businessman Liu Hai to start a ceramics business,
Chang'an, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room,
The Emperor Li Longji stopped reading the Chinese Book of Creation and became so angry that he threw the Book of Credence on the ground.
"This Tubo... goes back on its word! It's really hateful!"
What the certificate of credence mentions is exactly what happened again at the border of Longxi County.
"Your Majesty... It is reported that Tubo's 200,000-strong army has arrived at Dangzhou first. It may be difficult for Mr. Li's Shuofang Army to take Dangzhou by force."
Beside the dragon case,
Gao Lishi whispered hurriedly.
To be honest, he didn't expect that Tubo would do something like this.
A new competition?
Although the Tubo side lost three masters, there are still seven ninth-level warriors, and the bad commanders are still no match.
However, the emperor did not keep his promise this time and had already offended Yibo Lou. Therefore, Yibo Lou would definitely never have the possibility to fight for the Tang Dynasty again.
But who else in the Tang Dynasty could be the opponent of those ninth-grade Tibetans?
If I had known this, I should have given him some face-saving reward.
Now it's not a bad idea to ask them to fight again.
"This Tubo..."
Bang!
Li Longji punched Long An hard,
This move by Tubo is really hateful.
"Your Majesty, there is still news... Tubo has already spread rumors, saying that if Datang does not fight, they will assume that Datang has lost the last seven games and will take over Longxi County by force!"
After a pause, Gao Lishi whispered again.
"He dares?"
Li Longji punched Long An again.
To be honest, Li Longji really doesn't know how to deal with this situation now.
As for taking up the challenge?
He didn't think about it anymore, and he couldn't help but let the masters from Yibo Tower fight again.
And adjust other Jiedu to use the army to fight against Tibet?
The Khitan and the Turks were eyeing each other, and once other Jiedu envoys left their territories, they would have the opportunity to go south.
However, if the army was not mobilized to assist in the defense of Longxi County, Li Guangbi's 150,000 Shuofang army would definitely not be a match for the Tibetan cavalry.
dilemma!
"His Majesty...."
Gao Lishi stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the royal study became completely silent,
It wasn't until a long time that Li Longji said feebly,
"In this way, we will discuss the matter in the court tomorrow and see if the ministers have any solution!"
"Yes! Your Majesty"
........
There is no airtight wall under the sky. As night fell, the news that Tubo had re-sent its credentials spread like wildfire and soon spread to the public.
"What? Tubo wants a big competition? Have you forgotten that Yi Bo Lou killed three top ninth-level masters in succession?"
In a restaurant, many warriors who were drinking were stunned when they heard it.
"Well, I heard that Tubo was dissatisfied and wanted to compete with the remaining seven games. They also said that if they didn't compete with the remaining seven games, they would not only deny the governorship but also take Longxi County by force. The credentials have been sent to the palace."
"This...didn't they all admit defeat at that time?"
"The Tibet side refuses to admit that there is nothing they can do, and the Tibetan envoy did not submit his credentials that day. It is justifiable to insist on competing with the remaining seven games."
"What now?"
"What should we do? Then we have to ask today! Apart from Yi Bo Lou, who else is the opponent of the Tubo warriors?"
A warrior showed a mocking expression.
The big competition a few days ago was still vivid in my mind. Before Yi Bo Lou even took the stage, Datang's face was severely trampled to the ground by Tubo.
In the end, Yi Bo Lou came forward to restore the dignity of the Tang Dynasty.
But the emperor took matters into his own hands.
With things like this now, Yibo Lou will definitely never take action again.
"That's right! I really didn't expect retribution to come so quickly."
At the mention of Yibo Tower, many warriors suddenly showed signs of relief and started talking more and more.
"It's really what people do and God is watching. If the emperor had kept his promise and rewarded the masters of Yibo Tower, Tubo would not have been able to propose the remaining seven games.
This time, Tubo must have learned about the emperor's actions and was sure that Yibo Lou would not take action again.
This is how we do it.”
"Yes, this time is really hurtful. I heard that all Qingfeng Gambling Houses in Chang'an City have closed down in the past few days, and many related businesses have also withdrawn from Chang'an one after another."
"Haha, that's not all. I guess the imperial concubine will have a hard time eating that hot pot meal in the future. I really don't know what the emperor was thinking at that time."
"Hey, how do you think the emperor will respond in the end? Will he send troops to take the state by force?"
After chatting for a while, the warrior who spoke first said again, and the topic returned to the competition.
"Force? Master Li's 150,000 Shuofang army is the opponent of Tubo's 200,000 cavalry? I think it's more like being forcibly taken by Tubo."
"Then... you just watch helplessly as I, the Tang Dynasty, lose a whole county?"
